Sunrise allows leaf blowers, mowers, and household power tools only between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. under City Code Sec. 9-19(9). There is no gas-blower ban, but off-hours use must meet the 55 dBA night limit.
Sunrise writes lawn equipment straight into its noise code as a timed exemption. Section 9-19(9) exempts lawn mowing and the operation of gasoline and electric-powered lawn, garden, and household maintenance tools and machinery from noise limits only between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Outside that window, blowers, mowers, and trimmers must fall within the residential caps of 60 dBA by day and 55 dBA overnight under Sec. 9-22. The city does not ban gas-powered blowers and imposes no separate equipment restriction. HOAs and CDDs in Sunrise communities frequently set landscaping hours stricter than the city window.
Running lawn equipment before 8:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. so it exceeds residential noise limits is citable up to $500 under Sec. 1-15. HOAs enforce their own landscaping-hour covenants civilly.
